The soldier, who was lying in a coma, made a sound as if it was because of pain. His brows were tightly furrowed.

After a while, Wang Yao gave him a small cup of regathering soup.

Outside the yard, Cheng Haidong glanced at his watch.

On the west side of the small river, Zhong Liuchuan, who had come out to exercise, found the vehicles parked outside the hospital and came to have a look. He was stunned to see several soldiers standing outside.

He instantly thought, What’s the situation? Are they standing guard here? There isn’t a need for so many people! That is a lieutenant colonel who has probably been to the battlefield and seen blood!

As Zhong Liuchuan looked at the soldiers, Cheng Haidong was looking at him. At a glance, he could see that Zhong Liuchuan was not an ordinary person.

“It’s OK,” Wang Yao softly said in the room.

The sound spread to the outside through the doors and windows. The soldiers hurried into the yard after hearing it. Zhong Liuchuan hesitated for a moment but did not enter. He continued to walk slowly toward the mountain. He murmured something under his breath. It was some scriptures of the Sutra. It sounded kind of poetic as it left his mouth.

In the clinic, several soldiers looked at the patient lying on the bed. Their faces were full of surprise, especially the doctor and nurse.

The soldier’s complexion had obviously improved. His face had become a lot lighter, and his breathing had become slow and powerful. His breathing was not as light and coarse as when he had arrived. It had only been less than 30 minutes, so how could there be such an obvious improvement?

“His condition has improved a lot,” Wang Yao said. “I suggest staying in the village for a few days and leaving when he is stable.”

“Stay?” Cheng Haidong asked.

“Yes, most of the houses in the village are idle,” Wang Yao said. “If you want to stay, I can arrange it.”

“Alright, we’ll impose on you,” Cheng Haidong said.

Wang Yao made a phone call. Zhong Liuchuan soon arrived at the clinic.

“Sir, I’ve arranged for them to stay in the house next to me,” he said. “I’ve finished tidying it.”

“Alright, you can take them there,” Wang Yao said.

“Come with me, please.” Zhong Liuchuan took a look at the soldier who was still in a coma.

He wasn’t a doctor, but his past experiences allowed him to tell at a glance what kind of injury the soldier was suffering from.

The few soldiers followed him as they carried the patient out of the clinic. They didn’t speak much along the way and soon arrived at the cleaned house.

“Here it is,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Make do with it.”

“It’s already quite good, thank you,” Cheng Haidong said.

“You’re welcome,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “I’m just next door. You can call me anytime if you need anything.”

He didn’t stay for long. As soon as he left, the nurse and doctor immediately took the medical examination equipment from the car to examine the soldier, who was still in a coma.

“This… This is impossible!” Looking at the data they could check, they were stunned.

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Haidong asked.

“It’s amazing,” the doctor said. “In terms of several indicators we can detect, he’s out of danger.”

“Is that so?” Cheng Haidong heaved a sigh of relief. “That is a good thing!”

“It’s a good thing, but I can’t explain it,” the doctor said.

“Ha-ha, that’s why we’re here.” Cheng Haidong smiled and patted the doctor on the shoulder. The worry he felt was half gone.

He arranged for a soldier to drive the medical vehicle to the nearest army station. It would be too conspicuous if it were parked at the house. On the other hand, the Jeep could be parked there without worry.

“Did you know that all the soldiers came to find Fenghua’s son for treatment?” a villager asked.

“Are you serious?” another villager asked.

“Why would I lie to you?” the first villager replied. “I saw them arrive and carry a stretcher in with my own eyes. There is another vehicle parked outside the clinic now with the wrong plate. You can see it by going there yourself.”

It had only been a day, but the news had spread throughout the small village.

“That young man is amazing!” some old people in the village exclaimed.

In a small courtyard, the nurse and doctor suddenly cried out, “He’s awake! He’s awake!”

“Really?” Several people hurried into the room and saw the comatose soldier had woken up.

“Yichuan, you are finally awake,” Cheng Haidong said.

The soldier wanted to ask where he was, but it felt as if something was stuck in his throat. When his voice reached his throat, it felt blocked. It took all his effort to ask, “Where?”

“This is a mountain village,” Cheng Haidong said. “We brought you here to seek medical treatment. You are finally awake. Don’t talk. Have a good rest.”

The wounded soldier felt as if his entire body was unbelievably heady. His breathing was rocky, and his head was dizzy. The good thing was that he had finally woken up from that terrible state.

Several of the soldiers who had come along also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Here, I’ll take care of the wound for you,” the nurse said. When she untied the bandage on his chest, she froze. “How is this possible?”

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Haidong and the attending doctor rushed over and were stunned.

The soldier’s originally rotted wound was already mostly healed. Moreover, it had already started scabbing a little.

“This, this, this…” The doctor and nurse were stunned.

Before they came to the village, they had carefully examined and treated the soldier. They were certain that the soldier’s wound would not recover. That was also the main reason why they weren’t in support of the transfer.

In a short amount of time, the wound had already begun healing. It was unbelievable. Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, they still couldn’t believe it. Was there really a medicine that magical in the world?

“What kind of medicine did he give him?” the nurse asked. “No wonder we had to leave.”

“Regarding this matter, we should be the only ones who know about it,” Cheng Haidong solemnly said. “Please keep it a secret!”

“What do you mean?” the doctor asked.

“What do you think?” Cheng Haidong replied with a gaze more serious than ever.

“Got it,” the nurse said.

“If Dr. Wang gets into trouble because of this, I’ll go straight to you two,” Cheng Haidong said.

“Captain Cheng, please rest assured that I will keep this matter confidential and guarantee it with my character,” the doctor said.

Although he wanted to know what kind of medicine the young doctor had used, he knew the backgrounds of Captain Cheng and the young soldier in critical condition. Both of them had deep contacts and backgrounds. He would not offend the two of them because of this.

“I promise too!” The young nurse pursed her lips. She seemed very reluctant.

“Alright, only the three of us have seen this,” Cheng Haidong said. “I promise with the honor of a soldier that this matter will not be spread out.”

In the evening, Captain Cheng went to Zhong Liuchuan’s home.

“Hello, sorry to impose.” He brought two bottles of wine, the special kind.

“You are too polite,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Do you need anything?”

“Well, I want to invite Dr. Wang to dinner, but it’s my first time here,” Cheng Haidong said. “I don’t know any place that is suitable?”

“Invite him to dinner?” Zhong Liuchuan asked with surprise.

“Yes, to express my gratitude,” Cheng Haidong said.

“Well, you should ask him about it,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “We often go to a restaurant at the foot of the village. It’s very close and affordable.”

“Will it be too informal?” Cheng Haidong asked.

“No it won’t,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Sir doesn’t really care much about that.”

“Alright, I’ll invite him,” Cheng Haidong said. “If he agrees, I’d like to invite you too.”

After a little thought, Zhong Liuchuan said, “OK.”

Cheng Haidong went to the clinic to ask Wang Yao.

“Dinner this evening is not necessary,” Wang Yao said.

“It’s not far,” Cheng Haidong said. “I’ve asked Mr. Zhong. It’s at the restaurant at the foot of the village. It has already been booked. I hope you will grace us with your presence.”

“Alright.” Wang Yao agreed after some thought.

Later that night, four people met at the restaurant and dined in a private room. The group included Cheng Haidong, Wang Yao, Zhong Liuchuan, and the doctor. There was a full table of dishes and two bottles of good wine.

“Dr. Wang, let me give you a toast,” Cheng Haidong said. “Thank you for saving my comrade in arms.”
